Filtering+Packaging

Filtering + Packaging

Filtered media is chosen based on specific paint type to ensure no foreign particle is present in the final product. This helps maintain an even film appearance.

Sourcing + Testing

The choice & cost of raw materials is of paramount importance. It directly impacts product property, process efficiency, coating durability & cost to the client. We have partnered with worldwide suppliers to source high-quality raw materials at competitive rates with extensive material testing to achieve the desired formulation.

Pre-Mixing Process

We ensure accurate weighing & correct mode of addition of raw materials which helps in improved dispersion, better product consistency, and production efficiency.

Dispersion

We adopt modern milling technology that ensures excellent dispersion, colour development & higher coverage of the final coating.

Stabilization

We ensure accurate stabilization and let-down of the mill base to achieve the final paint formulation. Stabilization is done prior to blending so that the dispersed particles do not re-agglomerate.

Blending

Stabilized mill-base is let-down into a slow speed mixer to attain a final formulation. Our coatings are held for 24 hours prior to packing to adjust the final formulation parameters.
